3 『Heralding The Guardians』

Jack, he was seated on the arm of the throne in a casual manner. His one leg hung off the side, while the other rested on the knee of the other by the ankle. His eyes gazed at the door, awaiting for those heteromorphic beings to come entering the throne chamber, silently with the NPC in the throne beside him.

Soon enough the door would creak and slide open, revealing a pair of twin Overlords entering the room. Their arms were interlocked with one another, as if they were walking down an Isle.

"Ah! Jack-sama! It is good to see you home!" The one in the black framed blue robes cackled.

The other in black framed red robes would cackle shortly after, with a similar note, but of praise. "Yes! Yes! To be expected!"

The two of them sounded like singsong birds, if not flamboyant heralds. They were created by the equally flamboyant player known simply as Honesoko, which literally meant Bone Bottom.

"Teetle Berry and Doodle Berry, Welcome to the Throne Chamber!" The little Witch on the throne would cheer sporadically, throwing her arms in the air.

These two were from the first floor. Their skills were based primarily on magic, seeing as they wore robes rather than armor. Their primary weapons being Divine-Cla.s.s Adamant.i.te Magic Staffs.

"We are welcomed!" the two threw up their unhooked arms in the air, letting their jaws fall excitedly. They were just two bundles of joy, a strange combination for the undead for sure.

"Remind me to get you two jester hats..." Jack could only stare at them from where he was situated, rolling his fingers on his thigh as they made their way towards the Throne at the opposite end of the room from the door they had entered.

"Too kind! Too kind!" The Skeletal Overlords would say in unison.

The next to enter the room was a ma.s.sive Half-Golem, who had to duck in order to enter the room without hitting a low hanging chandelier. Though he had a humanoid earthy appearance, he was about three times the size of a normal human being.

"Genji!" The witch continued to squeal the name of the people who were entering the room.

Jack just shook his head slightly at this and raised a hand as the Guardian of the Second Floor nodded its head silently.

Genji was a ma.s.sive construct, nearly invincible, and sentient to boot, but he was rendered incapable of speech. However he did know sign language, due to the fact that the person who played the character was also unable to speak with a voice.

Their creator's name, SairentoOnna, literally meant Silent Priestess in a combination of Kanji and Katakana. Many of the player's names were based on their character's appearances, allowing one to a.s.sume the creator SairentoOnna wore a Miko Dress or something akin to it.

"Can you stop shouting? Jack put his pinky in his ear and swished it around, as he looked down to the sister, a stoic look on his face as he glared through her.

Childishly she just smiled up at him, with an almost smug overtone. "If you say so, Oniisama~"

Jack rolled his eyes, he had never expected her to be like this. Well, he did, he just never expected her to come alive like she was right now. Ent.i.tled, high expectations, wanting to be the center of importance. That was the little sister he once had, bundled all into one little once digital vessel.

"If you keep being a brat, I will take the job I gave you away," casually he used this to threaten her into submission and she immediately zipped her lips with a common and plain gesture with the use of her fingers.

"Good girl," Jack would place his hand on the top of her silver-white head and ruffled her hair.

"Gah! Oniisama~!"

Rolling his eyes, Jack would narrow his sights on the next group of Guardians to come walking in.

Teetle, Doodle and Genji were now present. Three of eleven from his count, Silva was expected to come with whoever entered last. So that would mean that there were four currently named Guardians in the room, leaving seven remaining.

A single miniature looking Dragon entered the room, flying high above the chandelier, before wrapping itself around its endless cord as it disappeared up into the ceiling. It let out a small squawk like sound.

This was not a Guardian, but one of their companions, Fred.

The next thing they'd see is a female Oni with pinkish red skin, large forehead with two short horns evenly s.p.a.ced poking out of her slick white hair and saturated sapphire eyes. They were dressed as a set of deceptively black shabby looking kimono with a warrior's sash around their waist, a long sword sheathed on along their lower back, and another pair of short swords at their hip.

"Welcome to the Court, Gemini."

"Ohoh? You have my thanks, Jack-sama darling." The little oni purred cheekily as she put her hand over her pursed lips, covering her exposed incisors. She then proceeded to stand beside Genji, leaning against his leg.

This particular one was created by SekiSeki, or RedRed.

Jack's eyes narrowed on the woman in the instant that she had called him Darling before his eyes danced over towards the door. The Skeleton Warrior he had seen earlier on the top floor, entered, its fiery eyes centering on Jack.

"h.e.l.lo… Jack-sama..." Its voice was overlapping, almost supernaturally singing with a single tone.

"Welcome Teller," Jack smiled softly hearing the heavenly voice for the first time, despite how briefly.

The Skeleton whipped its tail side to side as it made its way over towards the other guardians present.

The next to enter was Toma, a giant cyclops with a ma.s.sive metal hammer in his hand. He was wearing large baggy pants, armor skirting and a half-plate adamant.i.te carapace.

Jack's eyes met with the giant's singular optic, a small grin forming over his stoic face. "Welcome Toma, crafting anything interesting?"

"No!" The voice of the Cyclopes boomed, shacking the chandelier that Fred was situated upon. It was an added effect which was granted upon the monster by his creator, Kanekonekomimi, who's gender is still up for dispute amongst the many members of the Guild. "I will craft the most masterful of pieces, Jack-sama!"

Soon enough the Cyclops was with one knee kneeling down in front of the Throne and the others mimicked the notion in kind. So when the Head Guardian entered the room with the last bunch behind her, they were able to rest their eyes on the silent fealty and respect which had been dutifully sworn.

Jack's eyes rested on the bulking emerald exoskeleton of an Insectoid that looked similar to that of an oversized preying mantis. "Daniki, Welcome to the Fold."

The insect let out a serious of lick sounds as its mandibles clacked together rhythmically as if it were forming true words, its blade like arms s.h.i.+fting in front of itself fondly. Its large brownish eyes unblinking. Daniki as it was named, had the power over nature like that of a High Druid.

His eyes then moved to a large hairy Lycanthrope which was itching its ear tirelessly. "Anyone else see the fleas?" The bi-pedaled wolf laughed, "I'm getting a drink from this right? Hm…" The Monster squinted in Jack's direction as his tail began to wag, uncharacteristic of a mere wolf, before he retained a more human look. "Oh h.e.l.lo there, Jack-sama!"

"Greetings Lannec." Jack snickered lightly at the pro-alcoholic wolf, who was programmed by Bokeharoni to be constantly craving alcohol verbally even shamelessly shouting about it during battle!

Lannec in his human form had red hair with a handlebar mustache, large sharp teeth, a pair of specs on his enlarged roman nose and unkept medium lengthened hair faded on the sides. His attire looked like a stereotypical safari explorer type, even with the round cap.

It didn't help that he had a very triangular, almost turnip, shaped head.

He was quick to join the others who were kneeling in front of Jack, no hesitation. The Insect was close behind, though instead of bowing, it loomed over the others like a tower with its bladed arms crossed over his chest.

Personally, the giant bladed insect was Jack's favorite…

The last two to enter the room however as Silva remained standing by the door, was a pair of Angels sculpted. Both of them were sculpted with twelve black and white wings each, shallow smiling faces and overall cute delicate features. Whilst they guarded two separate floors, they looked to be twins, dressed in holy robed armor with lances in opposite hands.

Though one couldn't tell due to their androgynous makeup, one was male and the other female, they were created by a pair of siblings who were part of the Guild. Their names being j.a.pelianana and Velkanianana, their nonsensical names having essentially no meaning behind them.

"Delane and Elaine, I welcome you to the Chamber of the Throne." Jack rested his head back against the throne, letting his free hanging leg bounce slightly as he watched all eleven Guardians now paying their respect to him. "Come and await my instructions."

"Yes Jack-sama!" Their divine voice was in paranormal sounding unison, followed by the rest of them.
